High-Power Simple Motor Controller G2 18v25

The Simple Motor Controllers are versatile, general-purpose single-channel motor controllers for brushed, DC motors. Wide operating voltage ranges and the ability to deliver up to several hundred watts in a small form factor make these controllers suitable for many motor control applications. With a variety of supported interfaces—­USB for direct connection to a computer, TTL serial and I2C for use with embedded systems, RC hobby servo pulses for use as an RC-controlled electronic speed control (ESC), and analog voltages for use with a potentiometer or analog joystick—­and a wide array of configurable settings, these motor controllers make it easy to add basic control of brushed DC motors to a variety of projects. A free configuration utility for Windows simplifies initial setup of the device and allows for in-system testing and monitoring of the controller via USB.

Quick Spec

• Motor channels: 1
• Control interface:
• USB
• Non-inverted TTL serial
• I2C
• RC servo pulses
• Analog voltage (Autodetects baud rates between 1200 and 500,000 bps, or can be set to any fixed baud rate in this range)
• Minimum operating voltage: 6.5 V
• Maximum operating voltage: 30 V (Absolute maximum; higher voltages can permanently destroy the motor driver. Recommended maximum is approximately 24 V, which leaves a safety margin for ripple voltage on the supply line. Not recommended for use with 24V batteries)
• Continuous output current per channel: 25 A (Typical results at room temperature running at 90% duty cycle)
• Maximum PWM frequency: 22.5 kHz
• Maximum logic voltage: 3.3 V (All digital inputs are 5V tolerant)
• Reverse voltage protection
